So, a guy from my town is going out of business and he called me and said that I'm supposed to make him an offer for sewing machine Adler 5-27. The machine is in very very good shape and it has single phase servo motor. It hasn't been used much at all and i was told "it was in army warehouse for a long time as reserve machine" and that he only used it for about 20 hours or so. What price should I offer to him, what would be fair price for it?

Searching for canvas material, which is simmilar (or even better, exactly the same) as old tarps used to be made of. Color doesn't matter much, as long as it is military color - camo, grey, green, brown, desert, etc. Doesn't matter very much. Would need 1-2m^2, but can't find supplier for that material anywhere. I'm interested in buying tarp as such aswell, could be torn (need it for parts to sew some other stuff).

I have fully designed a wallet, which I will (as prototype) cut out with laser, but I'm lost how to create the coin pocket. Does anyone have a pattern for it maybe? I will be using 1.3/1.5mm or 3-4 oz. veg tan.

Great work! Is there a sheet of leather between snake and knife too?

Is there any difference for the machine itself - to use nylon or polyester thread? I'm currently buying new spool and to me (as unexperienced) doesn't make any difference at buying, but might to the product or machine itself?

It seems I couldn't get an answer to this yet; is this thread okay to use on tippmann or not? https://www.ebay.com/itm/50M-150D-1mm-Waxed-Thread-Wax-String-fr-Leather-DIY-Sewing-Stitching-Craft-HighQ/333117384608?hash=item4d8f57e7a0:m:m1faykOtJqglgeM2bnzRMdg

Amazing work.

If I'd punch 40mm oblong hole for 40mm belt, that would be waaaaaaaaaaay too much for me. I use 25mm (or 1") oblong punch and i'ts just enough for me.

lowering price to 50 USD, shipping worldwide included.

Dwight highly dissagrees on that

yeah, but I cannot find which one he meant. None of them above doesn't have thread size written. https://www.tandyleather.com/en/category/threads

Looks decent, will buy that one from Tandy. I hope the one from the link is OK.

Do you have any pictures of your work perhaps? From close look?

And what needles to use with tippmann? Any special required? For 346 thread?

yeah, but this one is unwaxed

Great! Thanks, that helps a lot. Is this the thread you're talking about? #346-Heavy ? Will take all 3 colors, hope it will work fine. https://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/polyester-machine-thread What about that thread I've mentioned before? I have several spools of that, is it still useful on Tippmann or should I use it just for hand sewing? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-Sewing-Waxed-Thread-150D-1mm-Nylon-Hand-Stitching-Cord-for-Leather-Craft-DIY/173821144361?epid=17029957303&hash=item28788c2d29:g:hD0AAOSwyUpcfNuE

But isn't it forbidden to use waxed thread on tippmann? Doesn't it glue up parts and you have several hours of work to clean it up? I prefer waxed thread anyway. I always use this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-Sewing-Waxed-Thread-150D-1mm-Nylon-Hand-Stitching-Cord-for-Leather-Craft-DIY/173821144361?epid=17029957303&hash=item28788c2d29:g:hD0AAOSwyUpcfNuE Is this one proper to use on tippmann?

I've been using ever since 150D waxed thread that I got from ebay, but as I've bought the tippmann now, I probably have to use unwaxed thread. Which brand should I use, what size? I'll be making mostly belts, holsters and knife sheaths.

Anyone got mentioned before blueguns or aluminum ones to sell? Can be used, I don't mind.

If you have a handpress/arbor press, it's supereasy to make one or more of these. You buy brass rod and can bend them easily and numerous times.

This is holster I've made slightly less than a year ago, but it's never been used - the customer never came to pick it up. I'll give it away for 65 USD, shipping worldwide included in that price. Handstitched with Ritza 25 thread, made from 8oz. or 3.2mm veg tan leather, laser engraved longhorn skull. Finished with neatsfoot oil, will not soak any humidity.
